Better Late than Never?

ENT ON HIATUS

Last couple of days, the weather was good after the rain so I been out exploring and strolling in my yard a little so was too tired to try and type up a blog.  It's pretty  n sunny but cool out today. I went early to check a corn field where Sandhill Cranes were reported...I checked it Saturday and today didn't see them.  Oh well, would have been a state tic for me, but not a big deal. 

More and more swamps are appearing, that is going to mean mosquitoes, and lots of them this spring and summer, I see standing water all over the place.  Good for Swallows and Blue birds, and Martins, not so good for the seed eaters.  Warblers seemed to do ok last year, so I'm hopeful again. 

Saturday night we watched Svengoolie.  It was the Black Scorpion.  Pretty entertaining, stop animation monsters, way better than CGA.  We both enjoyed it.   After two recent movies that left us both in the twilight zone..one called the Howl, the other was called Surveillance.  Howl was not bad we hid our faces a couple times but the other one I don't even know why we didn't turn it off but we thought surely in the end these two HORRIBLE killers would get what was coming to them...they DID NOT...ugh.

A very good drama we watched was called GOLD, check it out sometimes. 

 I'm cooking a pot of pinto beans this afternoon, always tasty and a pretty cheap meal...I will put a little baking soda in to help neutralize the gas!  I love Mexican recipes and add a little salsa to my plate with Pinto Beans and a flour tortilla if I don't have cornbread...it's very tasty that way.  I know some people mix black with pinto but I have only one big pot, the other one is TOO big it's for canning...as I scaled down the amount of cookware I keep since mostly I cook for one,  I could have put half and half, the cooking time is about the same but I think they taste better when blended just before serving not cooked together. 

I would like to find a decent priced cast iron enamel dutch oven...but other that Im pretty set.  I have 3 cast iron skillets one cast iron flat griddle,  1, 2, and 4 qt pots....I used to have lots more but in a fever of minimalism I donated several pieces.  

Do you ever watch the Walking Dead?  I used to watch every episode, then when Mom and I did away with cable, it was not such a big deal anymore.  I feel like the world is infected with zombies.  I go down a quiet farm road to look for birds in fields, and on fence lines...I cruz by every so slowly keeping my eye on my rearview constantly...and just like a Zombie, suddenly creeping right up behind me, there they are right up my ass....the soccer mom's in the speedy SUV.  They must get to Walmart, or the Grocery store, they have no time for anyone to be Different...I want to be Daryl with his crossbow just for that second, I will aim for the tires.  SO in my mind I've taken to calling them zombies, and I see them thru the crosshairs...NOW they will have to call AAA.  Day spoiled...Oh so sad.

LOL yes I know but ,how fecking annoying is it to be run  over on a country road when you have another agenda?  I pull over if there is room, and if not I speed up and find a spot to pull in and let the Zombie get on her way sometimes it's male but normally they just pass and get on with their own life and allow me to get on with mine...NOT the soccer mom zombies, see Im on "their" road, so I must give way...to Karen.  

...and every now and then you get the horn, the finger, the dirty look, if only I had the crossbow...aim low a PUFF of stagnant air whooshes out and they are immobolized and I can creep right on by and check those fence lines for the perched Loggerheaded Shrike, or the Singing Meadowlark, or the Flock of Blackbird picking thru the cow pies....oh the stuff dreams are made of.  I would love to do a 15 minute film on this very subject.  I would call it "Karen Sidelined".  

I thought it was a holiday today but I looked at the Calendar wrong It's next week...Im not with the program see...Not much else on my agenda, going for propane fill later son is supposed to ride with me, so we'll see if that happens, 

TTFN.
